Chapter 814: Chapter 814: Ling Lin
One day after school, I ran upstairs with my backpack, took my sister out of her baby swing, and while the maid wasn’t paying attention, brought her to my room, placing her soft body on the bed. Inhaling the milky scent from her, I took out a lollipop from my backpack.
With a quick wave in front of her eyes, my sister, who was very young at that ti, grabbed at anything she saw. Seeing that I wasn’t giving it to her, she imdiately made a fierce face and tried to snatch it, making
quickly step back a few paces, with a mischievous grin, "Linlin, be good, call
brother and I’ll give it to you."
At that ti, Ling Lin was just over a year old, just beginning to learn to talk, and couldn’t understand anything I was saying. She just reached out her chubby little hands, swaying them around, her eyes glued to the thing in my hand.
Ling Haoyu rembers clearly that his sister had dimples, especially when she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved, very pretty.
Crouching by the bed, he began to patiently teach, "Linlin, be good, call
brother, GeGe..."
"Duo... Duoduo..."
"No, no, it’s brother, gege, not Duoduo..."
As if she had heard sothing funny, she suddenly smiled with her eyebrows and eyes arched, her silver bell-like laughter filling the entire room.
"Duoduo... Duoduo... eat... candy."
That day, Ling Haoyu tried teaching for a long ti, but she still didn’t learn. In the end, he could only slump his shoulders and take her back to her room.
When my sister grew a bit older, able to walk on her own, every ti I ca ho after school, she’d always put down the doll in her hand, and run to
with her little feet going clippity-clop, calling out "Duoduo" in her childish voice a few tis, then rummage through my backpack.
...
Returning from his thoughts, Beichen Rui was leisurely observing him. He straightened out his thoughts and spoke up, "Sorry, I was lost in thought."
"No problem."
Ling Haoyu: "Her na is Ling Lin. Everyone at ho calls her Linlin, or Linlin. She wasn’t well-behaved as a child. No matter how we coaxed her to call
brother, she wouldn’t. Most of the ti, we had to use candy to coax her to open her mouth, and later, knowing that I would buy her candy, she followed
around every day calling
Duoduo."
"Duoduo?"
"Yeah, she couldn’t pronounce it correctly when she was little, so she called
Duoduo. Later, it beca a habit and it never changed."
Beichen Rui noticed that whenever he talked about his sister, Ling Haoyu’s eyes would fill with tenderness. It was rumored that the young heir of the Ling Group controlled the source of military supplies for many countries, almost monopolizing them. Such a dangerous person, yet who would have thought he’d appear like this when ntioning his sister.
It seems he must have loved his sister dearly.
With a tentative tone, he asked, "And then what? Why did you say she’s no longer here?"
Upon hearing the question, Ling Haoyu’s eyes dimd slightly. That year, he truly felt the pain of losing a family mber. It’s a feeling he couldn’t describe, one he never wants to experience again in this lifeti.
He still rembers how upset he was when the news ca back, how much he regretted not going with her. At that ti, his mother was so stricken by the incident that she was bedridden for several months, crying every day for a long ti afterward.
"My mother is from Hua Country, and as it happens, my grandmother is from Z City."
"That’s quite a coincidence."... If his hunch was right, there’s an even bigger coincidence.
"When Linlin was five years old, my parents brought my grandmother over to stay with us for a while. During that ti, my father had to work a lot, and I was starting primary school, so Linlin mainly stayed with my grandmother."
